    Nt1310 Unit 8.1 Summary

    The first lesson learnt is the importance of durability when constructing a device. Although the preliminary design was functioning, it’s lack of durability meant a completely new device was constructed for the secondary design. The emphasis placed on durability for subsequent iterations resulted in a device that remained structurally sound despite repeated transportations. The second lesson is the importance of effectively integrating separate systems into the final design. The parallel construction of the computer system and the mechanical system allowed the final design to operate as a single unit that was both accurate and efficient. Without this integration, the final design would likely have been unsuccessful.…

    Determining G on an Incline

    OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this experiment was to measure the speed and acceleration of a cart rolling down an incline, in addition to determining the mathematical relationship between the angle of an incline and the acceleration of a cart rolling down a ramp. Also, determining the value of free fall acceleration, g, by extrapolating the acceleration vs. sine of track angle graph, n addition, to determining if an extrapolation of the acceleration vs. sine of track angle valid.…

    Egg Car Essay Example

    * With the building of our cars, we were measuring the mass of the egg, mass of the car, time for it to go down the track, and the width so that it would fit down the track. The variable that affects our cars the most is the mass. If your car weighs to little, it will go at high speeds and the egg will most likely not be protected, but if the car weighs to much it might not make it all the way down the track.…

    F1 Track Design and Safety

    Modern tyre barriers are built of road tyres with plastic tubes sandwiched between them. The side facing the track is covered with conveyor belting to prevent wheels becoming snagged and distorting the barrier. The whole provides a deformable ‘cushion’ a principle that has found its way to civilian roads. Barriers made of air filled cells, currently under investigation may be the final answer. Another important safety factor is the road surface. Racing circuits are at the cutting edge of surface technology, experimenting with new materials for optimum performance.…

    Formula One Racing

    Formula One cars are among the fastest circuit-racing cars in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce. Formula One cars race at speeds of up to 350 km/h (220 mph) with engines limited in performance to a maximum of 18,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). The cars are capable of lateral acceleration in excess of 5 g in corners. The performance of the cars is very dependent on electronics – although traction control and other driving aids have been banned since 2008 – and on aerodynamics, suspension and tyres. The formula has had much evolution and change through the history of the sport.…

    Despite all the benefits of the Segway and the careful thought process that went into its production, it still faces a large concern; will this machine be viewed as a toy? This is the primary concern of Kamen and rightfully so. Kamen knows that many consumers will view it as an expensive toy as opposed to a revolutionary form of transportation. Additionally, since the Segway’s physical design is not visually ground-breaking, it does…
